+### Examples, `for`

+Assuming that the semantics of `for` is defined by a desugaring from:
+
+```rust
+for PAT in EXPR_ITER {
+    BODY
+}
+```
+
+into:
+
+```rust
+match IntoIterator::into_iter(EXPR_ITER) {

+        { BODY };
+    },

+
+then the only thing that changes is that `PAT` may include `|` at the top level
+in the `for` loop and the desugaring as per the section on grammar.
